Property Detail

Description

Sandpiper has a cult following for a reason: this Krisel-designed post-and-beam MCM community is perfectly situated on El Paseo, the shopping and dining mecca in Palm Desert. Architecture enthusiasts marvel at how Krisel designed Sandpiper to take advantage of the mountain views and the landscaping to position the units and pools to allow for both privacy and community at the same time. His use of 3D concrete block and clerestory windows adds to the coolness of the post-and-beam architecture. 161 Sandpiper is special: a 2BR/2BA unit, one of few with the circular kitchens still intact, and lovely views from both sides of the unit. The seller has taken great pride in maintaining the Krisel grooviness while updating many mechanical features (new hot water heater, new electric sub-panel and garbage disposal) and adding stunning wallpaper and an oh-so-rare authentic MCM refrigerator. Sandpiper makes for a wonderful seasonal property (as an investment or vacation home), or a full-time residence for those looking to downsize to an incredibly convenient & sought-after location.
